14 Of The Most Anticipated Shows Of The Fall Season

The fall season is a beautiful season that brings about many great things. The start of school, pumpkin spiced everything, Halloween, and new seasons of your favorite TV shows.

As college students, we are very familiar with binging a TV show only to get caught up and have to wait for the next season to get more. If you get as obsessed with your favorite shows as I do, then you know it’s a craving to get more. It’s more of a need than a want.

Well, as we enter the second week of September this time is upon us. Usually between the months of September and October is when all the major television networks begin the new seasons of their shows and I think this fall season we will have a nice line up. Let’s look at 14 of some of the most anticipated shows this season. Just as a warning, there will be season finale spoilers.

1. "Supernatural"

This show is entering its 13th season making it the longest running sci-fy show on air. This show is my particular guilty pleasure and season 12’s ending was mind blowing. Poor Sam and Dean Winchester are left alone, yet again to face another possibly world altering situation. With Crowley, Rowena, and Cas dead, and Mary lost in another dimension with Lucifer himself, what are the brothers supposed to do with the son of Lucifer on their own? Tune into the CW on Oct. 12 8pm (ET) to catch the season premiere.

2. "Criminal Minds"

This show is also entering its 13th season and let’s just say it’s been a roller coaster ride. With everything that happened to Reid last season and the team finally getting the evidence they needed to convince the courts that Reid did not commit murder and get him out of jail, it was very suspenseful. However, with notorious serial killer Mr. Scratch still on the loose it made the season finale that much more drastic. As the team rushes to Reid’s safe house, on a tip from former member Derek Morgan, their SUV’s are crashed into by a Semi. Will they all make it? Tune into CBS on Sept. 27 at 10/9 c.

3."Grey’s Anatomy"

This show is entering its 14th season, and let’s just say Shonda Rhimes is not afraid to break your heart. Last season ended with Edwards being held hostage at knife point then escaping only to be trapped in the hospital while it is on fire. The catch? She has a little girl with her. Ultimately, she makes the decision to quit, but that wasn’t the only shocker. Owen found out his Army MIA sister, Meg, who everyone believed to be dead for years was actually alive and this will have repercussions for Meredith’s relationship with Rigg’s, considering he was Meg’s fiancé. What will the fallout of everything be? Tune in to ABC on Sept. 28th.

4. "Once Upon A Time"

This show will be entering its 7th season. Last season ended with the final battle between Emma, Gideon and the Black fairy. After another curse is dropped and everyone loses their memories, including Emma, Henry has to restore them and when he finally does they all defeat the black fairy and returning Gideon to his infancy as well as resurrecting those who sacrificed themselves in this battle. The very ending saw an adult Henry faced with his young daughter whom he does not remember, almost paying homage to the show’s premiere with him and Emma. Tune in to ABC on Oct. 6th.

5. "Arrow"

This show will be entering its 7th season as well. Last season ended with Chase kidnapping Oliver’s son, only for Oliver to find him leaving his team on Lian Yu. Chase kills himself detonating the kill switch on the explosives on the island where all of Oliver’s friends remain. What are their fates? Tune into CW on Oct. 12th.

6. "The Flash"

The show will be entering its 4th season. Last season ended with Barry and his team finally defeating Savatare AKA Barry from another timeline, but having to deal with the consequences. Caitlyn is still some version of Killer Frost, HR is dead, and Barry taking his place in the speed force to own up to the damage he caused when he created flashpoint. What will happen next? Tune into the CW on Oct. 10th.

7. "Marvel’s Agents of Shield"

This show will be entering its fifth season. Last season ended with the return of ghost rider who went after now inhuman Aida. He fails and Coulson is turned into ghost rider and he finally defeats her after the brains at SHIELD turned her own LMD’s against her. However, it ends on a cliffhanger with them being taken into space. This show will have a bit of a delay but tune into ABC on Nov. 24th.

8. "How To Get Away With Murder"

This show will enter its 4th season. Last season was a complete shocker as we found they killed Wes and that Laurel is now pregnant with his child. With the varying suspects they believed killed Wes, no one would have guessed who it was. Laruel's father put a hit on Wes and a family friend carried it out. How will the team find out and who will they kill next? Tune into ABC on Sept. 28th.

9. "NCIS"

This show will be entering its 15th season. Last season ended with Gibbs and McGee stranded in Paraguay about to face some rebels head on after traveling there to investigate a dead body. Tune into CBS Sept. 26th to see what happens.

10. "iZombie"

This show will be entering its 4th season. Last season ended with Major volunteering to become a zombie again after Ravi cured him, Liv and Clive neck deep in Fillmore-Graves drama, finding out they are the true bad guys in this situation. Liv convinces Johnny Frost to tell the world about zombies and Ravi creates a vaccine against zombie-ism and takes it and tells Liv to scratch him to test. This show won’t return in the fall as it just ended in June but will return in 2018.

11. "The Walking Dead"

This show will be entering its 8th season. Last season ended with the Scavengers double-crossing Rick's group, revealing they've been dealing with Negan all along. After a standoff, a gun fight ensues, with the unexpected arrival of Kingdom and Hilltop fighters forcing Negan and the Saviors and Scavengers to retreat. Alexandria, the Kingdom, and Hilltop are hit badly, but are prepared for all-out war against their enemies. Tune into AMC on Oct. 22nd.

12. "Supergirl"

This show will be entering its 3rd season. Last season ended with Kara expelling lead into the air defeating Rhea and her troops. This also meant she had to send Mon-El on his way too or the lead in the air would kill him. Alex asked Maggie to marry her and in a flashback another baby was sent from krypton to reign over the Earth. Tune into the CW on Oct. 9th.

13. "D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow"

This show will be entering its 3rd season. Last season ended the legends breaking the one rule of time travel: travel back to where they have already been. They do this to defeat the Legion (in which they do) and send everyone back to their prospective times. However, when they set a course for Aruba for a break they find themselves in a current alternate LA with dinosaurs roaming the streets. Tune into the CW on Oct 10th to see the aftermath.

14. "Chicago Fire"

This show will be entering its 6th season. Last season ended with tension building between everyone, Mouch and Cruz, Dawson and Casey, and the like. At the end of the final episode the house is called out to a fire at a warehouse where they find themselves trapped. Casey takes off his mask and says goodbye to Dawson as he knows he will not make it out. Or will he? Tune into ABC on Sept. 28th to find out.

Many people are shaped by something that happened to them. Perhaps they were shaped by their family, or the situation they grew up in. I can attest to many different situations and aspects of my life shaping me into the person I am today, however, I never thought I would say a TV show helped change my life and became part of what made me who I am today.

One Tree Hill, created by Mark Schwan, was a long-running series about two brothers who start out as rivals when the pauper-type brother joins the school's basketball team. Eventually, the brothers hash it out to become friends and this show follows them, and all of their friends, through their town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, while they endure heartbreak, loss, success, real-life problems, and ups & downs of all sorts.

A lot of people in the past have questioned my love for the show, saying my constant viewing and the fact that I have seen the lengthy nine-season show probably more than eleven times through is obsessive, however, I say it is therapeutic. Don't let the length of the series scare you, it is worth every minute.

At the end of season nine, which only has 13 episodes, you'll probably be sobbing that it's over and begging for more. The fact that the creative genius behind the scenes and the cast really created something special that made people want to watch for nine seasons is incredible. 2003-2012 was a magical time where One Tree Hill aired on TV and it was a time many of us wish we could get back.

I'm sure so many people would love to know why us "One Tree Hill" fans are just so connected to the show and the reason being is that the characters are the most relatable characters. They experience real-life events (with TV magic twists of course). One particular episode actually sticks out to me to this day.

Season four episode 13, "Pictures of You." This episode has the students come into class a few weeks shy of graduation when the teacher gives them an assignment: they can go anywhere they want throughout the school and take a picture of their partner (the teacher gave them digital cameras to use) that shows their true self. They had to pick their partners out of a classmate's hat and they all took incredible pictures of each other after a day of self reflection. Some of the pictures were definitely a little risqué for the modern high school, however, it gave us this iconic Brooke Davis moment that reminded us that "what's under the clothes" matters and that we shouldn't label people based on anything:

From this to school shooting awareness, conversations about losing a family member, strained/abusive familial relationships, narcotics and alcohol abuse, and having to grow up faster than a kid should, "One Tree Hill" hits all the marks on a relatable teen show. I fell in love with the show for this. I feel as if everyone should divulge into the greatness "One Tree Hill" has to offer because it is just so important to see the messages the series portrays. The show also has humor, action, romance, and so much more you just cannot ever get enough of. So, I highly recommend "One Tree Hill" as your next binge, rewatch, or just as your go-to, feel-good show.

"One Tree Hill" is no longer running on the CW Network and was taken off of Netflix (petition to put OTH back on Netflix anyone?), but thank goodness Hulu answered our prayers and added the spectacular series to their streaming service. I have to give my best friend, Meaghan, a shoutout for giving me her Hulu password the day "One Tree Hill" was added to Hulu.

So, if you've ever wanted to start "One Tree Hill," this is your sign. Get on Hulu, give it a go, and thank me later when you fall in love with Luke, Nathan, Brooke, Hayley, and Peyton.

15 Thing Only Early 2000's Kids Will Understand

This is it early 2000's babies, a compilation finally made for you. This list is loaded with things that will make you swoon with nostalgia.

1. Not being accepted by the late 90's kids.

Giphy

Contrary to what one may think, late 90's and early 00's kids had the same childhood, but whenever a 00's kid says they remember something on an "only 90's kids will understand" post they are ridiculed.

2. Fortune tellers.

Every day in elementary school you would whip one of these bad boys out of your desk, and proceed to tell all of your classmates what lifestyle they were going to live and who they were going to marry.

You could never read this book past 8 o'clock at night out of fear that your beloved pet rabbit would come after you.

4. Silly bands.

You vividly remember begging your parents to buy you $10 worth of cheap rubber bands that vaguely resembles the shape of an everyday object.

5. Parachutes.

The joy and excitement that washed over you whenever you saw the gym teacher pull out the huge rainbow parachute. The adrenaline that pumped through your veins whenever your gym teacher tells you the pull the chute under you and sit to make a huge "fort".
